Hi,
I’m planning a v8 conversion of a B and looking at gearbox options.
It seems like an r380 or MX5 mk3 kit are the obvious options (the BGT v8 box having a dreadful reputation and LT77’s being a bit agricultural vs the r380).
Has anyone got any experience of these in a v8?
My worry is the Mazda box is too light; I’d really want a T5 (had one in a Chimaera) but it’s more work than I want to do.
Any thoughts welcome (apart from ‘buy another Chinaera’)
